For example, it forms a large number of different compounds in the presence of oxygen, including SO2, SO3, SO32- and SO42. In each of these molecules, the S-O bond distances are different, as can be seen in the table at right. Provide a rationale for the reported bond distances for each of these species.

15. Good practice. Sulfur has amongst the most diverse
chemistry of all of the atoms of the periodic table. For
example, it forms a large number of different compounds
in the presence of oxygen, including SO2, SO3, SO32- and
SO42. In each of these molecules, the S-O bond distances
are different, as can be seen in the table at right. Provide
a rationale for the reported bond distances for each of
these species.
